All of Florida's 24 WIBS are incorporated non-profits. The state level board is by statute an incorporated non-profit and it charters the 24 local boards. The language for the state board is: "There is created a not-for-profit corporation to be known as "Workforce Florida, Inc." which shall be registered, incorporated, organized and operated in compliance with chapter 617, and which shall not be a unit or entity of state government. . .
